Pradeep Sharma sought direction to lodge FIR against Narendra Modi in a case of alleged snooping of a woman by former state Home Minister Amit Shah.

Gujarat High Court on Wednesday rejected suspended IAS officer Pradeep Sharma’s plea seeking direction to lodge FIR against Chief Minister Narendra Modi in a case of alleged snooping of a woman by former state Home Minister Amit Shah on behest of one ‘Saheb’.

Justice G R Udhvani, while rejecting the plea, observed that there are alternative remedies available and asked him to approach the magisterial court.

The court said that the petition is not maintainable under Article 226.

Article 226 contains the provision for filing a petition before the Gujarat High Court.

Pradeep Sharma had earlier approached Sector 7 police station of Gandhinagar but police had refused to file the FIR.
